I used to dive into misinformation correction more often, but it is so, so exhausting. Dumb shit spreads so fast and you just cannot explain complex things to people without background in 300 characters.
This is all about “women should suffer in pain because fetuses are much more important” flavored with a generous helping of Not Understanding How Science Works.
Politicians should leave management of nuanced science and medicine to qualified professionals. I delivered babies for years and Tylenol is recommended because all the otc and rx alternatives have known, definite risks and the very small correlation with autism is tiny and probably not causative.
Penalty kicks decide nothing. It’s literally tossing a coin after 90+ minutes. A good tournament structure should seek to minimize PKs. The current MLS Cup maximizes opportunities for decisions made by coin flip. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

He’s an unserious man in a serious job.
Old school, angle grinders, ladders, and dressing up as workers in high viz. Damn I hope they get away with it.

Just some old fascist’s bejeweled asshole-hat.
Hooray for Frog and Toad shirts!
A good, purely selfish reason not to keep going down this road of increasing militarism on our streets. Accidents and incompetence happen in every job.

Also everything else that’s wrong with it.
Protests build solidarity and camaraderie, and galvanize for further action.
Yes. It starts with one city and spreads. We refuse authoritarian government.
Seattle you are beautiful
With everything going on in the world, now I have to deal with this?!
Early lead for best sign: “Epstein is better hung than Trump”
Feels good to wave the flag. We are the goddamn patriots!
